	\paragraph{Syntax}\label{syntax}

\begin{verbatim}
[H,Range] = plot(X,...)
[H,Range] = plot(Range,X,...)
[H,Range] = plot(Ax,Range,X,...)
\end{verbatim}

\paragraph{Input arguments}\label{input-arguments}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{Ax} {[} numeric {]} - Handle to axes in which the graph will
  be plotted; if not specified, the current axes will used.
\item
  \texttt{Range} {[} numeric {]} - Date range; if not specified the
  entire range of the input tseries object will be plotted.
\item
  \texttt{X} {[} tseries {]} - Input tseries object whose columns will
  be ploted as a line graph.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Output arguments}\label{output-arguments}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{H} {[} numeric {]} - Handles to lines plotted.
\item
  \texttt{Range} {[} numeric {]} - Actually plotted date range.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Options}\label{options}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{'datePosition='} {[} \emph{\texttt{'centre'}} \textbar{}
  \texttt{'end'} \textbar{} \texttt{'start'} {]} - Position of each date
  point within a given period span.
\item
  \texttt{'dateTick='} {[} numeric \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{Inf}} {]} -
  Vector of dates locating tick marks on the X-axis; Inf means they will
  be created automatically.
\item
  \texttt{'tight='} {[} \texttt{true} \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{false}}
  {]} - Make the y-axis tight.
\end{itemize}

See help on built-in \texttt{plot} function for other options available.

\paragraph{Date format options}\label{date-format-options}

See \href{dates/dat2str}{\texttt{dat2str}} for details on date format
options.

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{'dateFormat='} {[} char \textbar{} cellstr \textbar{}
  \emph{\texttt{'YYYYFP'}} {]} - Date format string, or array of format
  strings (possibly different for each date).
\item
  \texttt{'freqLetters='} {[} char \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{'YHQBMW'}}
  {]} - Six letters used to represent the six possible frequencies of
  IRIS dates, in this order: yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly,
  monthly, and weekly (such as the \texttt{'Q'} in \texttt{'2010Q1'}).
\item
  \texttt{'months='} {[} cellstr \textbar{}
  \emph{\texttt{\{'January',...,'December'\}}} {]} - Twelve strings
  representing the names of the twelve months.
\item
  \texttt{'standinMonth='} {[} numeric \textbar{} \texttt{'last'}
  \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{1}} {]} - Month that will represent a
  lower-than-monthly-frequency date if the month is part of the date
  format string.
